LET GOD GUIDE YOU !!!

LET GOD GUIDE YOU 


Are you searching for a solution to some situation, hesitant to take action concerning a decision that should be made? Let God guide you! 

Do you yearn for peace of mind, renewed strength, courage, and faith? 

Let God guide you? 

Would you like to live everyday of your life joyously, confident of success, secure in the assurance that the path you are following is God's Will for you? 

Let God guide you? 

"Yes," you may say, "I want to be decisive, confident, able to cope with every situation that arises. I have prayed for guidance, but I still feel insecure, unsure that the right ones. How do I know that God is guiding me? 

The answer to this question may seem complex to the searching heart, yet it is stirringly simple to the one who has discovered the assurance of walking with God. You know that God is guiding you when you have a depth of inner peace and strength, when you can remain calm and poised regardless of how things look or seem. 

There is a blessing in every experience that comes to you. When you realize this, your trust is in God; you ytravel the pathway that follows God' road map for you. Even though this course may contain detours and curves, you will ultimately reach your destination. When you are constantly aware of your oneness with God, constantly aware that God is in you and in all persons that you abide in His presence and power you can be sure that God in his infinite wisdom is guiding and directing you. 

God's Will for each of His children is a happy, healthy, abundant life, a life rich with His blessings. God's good is unlimiyted. When you have an experience that fails to measure up to your expectation of happiness and fulfilment, you can release any feeling of anxiety and rest in the knowledge that God's Will for you is happiness and well-being. The events and experiences in your life increase your spiritual growth and enrich your awareness of God's good in your affairs. 

If there are personal problems and difficult decisions to make, it is encouraging and comforting to know that God is present in all persons and all situations. God understands your deepest needs and desires of everyone concerned by any decision you make or action you take. Regardless of the circumstances of your life, regardless of how the situation of the present moment may seem, you can place your trust in God and His guidance. You can know that He will direct you. You may not always know the channel though which your help will come, or even its method of reaching you, but you can be confident that, through prayer, God's help and guidance will come to you. 

To be an open, receptive channel for God's direction, you need to become quiet and still. You need to centre your thought and attention on God instead of the problem that is troubling you. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee," As you turn within to the presence of God at the centre of your being, our straining and struggling will cease. New depths of peace and tranquillity will be yours. Greater understanding will increase your ability to stabilize your emotions. You will relax and become poised as you commune with God. Your answer will be revealed to you. 

You are never alone. God is with you every moment. God is always there to help you, to encourage you, to direct you. Accept His blessings, abide in His peace. Let God Guide you!

Guruvaar Prarthna

Guruvaar Prarthna

 

Our Beloved Sadguru Sainath, please accept our humble prayers on this Holy day of Guruvaar. We are always praying You and seeking Your help to ward off our troubles. Our simple mind in this fast world expecting fast results for our prayers, please help us to follow Your Shraddha and Shaburi and grant us right solution at right time. Our wandering mind disturbing our concentration during prayer, help us to steer our mind at the right direction and make our prayers a happy experience. On this day, we absorb your advice and try to lead a life desired by you.

 

His household will always be prosperous, and he will not want for anything till he lives. If he resorts to ME with full faith, his difficulties will be removed.

 

There will be persons who say that they will behave as they like, as they have strayed from the path. Those who have turned their backs on religious observances, turn away from such people first.

 

If you come across them, swerve away from them. Consider them to be very dangerous. Be afraid of even their shadows and go out of the way to avoid them.

 

One who is lawless, immoral, thoughtless, without any purpose, who cannot distinguish between right and wrong – how will he achieve any good in life?

 

But without some special bonds of past lives no one comes to us. May it be a dog, a pig or a fly. So do not repulse anybody.

 

Henceforth, he should serve Me with love and devotion. The Supreme Being will bless him. He will receive a permanent treasure.

 

In what manner should he worship? Who am I? How can he know with certainty? Sai's body is perishable, while Brahman is imperishable".

 

"All pervading as I am, I am the personification of the eightfold nature".So revealed the Lord to Arjuna while expounding the Gita. "

 

"The world made of movable and immovable objects, of names and forms, is manifested by ME in the form of the eightfold nature. The phenomenon is created by ME only.

 

The mystical symbol 'Aum' expresses ME. I am the only connotation of it. In the whole of the universe, there exists a multitude of things but I am immanent in all of them.

 

There is nothing but the Atman, so what desire should there be? I am all exhaustive in everything in all ten directions.

 

I bow down to Sree Ganesh

I bow down to Sree Saraswati

I bow down to the Guru

I bow down to the Family Deity

I bow down to Sree Sita-Ramachandra

I bow down to Sree Sadguru Sainath.

Live a Life of Divine Will

Live a Life of Divine Will

First thing for us, to live our life effortlessly is to abandon the belief that I am an independent entity who makes things happen through some kind of deliberate effort taken by me through my own will and desire.  God is the One Doer, the One Worker. We are only His instruments. Let us learn to yield to His perfect plan for us and be His willing instruments.

 To live effortlessly we have to learn to accept the Will of God at every step, to live without resistance, worries, complaints and self pity.

 We have to live in the 'Here' and the 'Now' – Live a life of alignment to the Divine Will and thus fulfill the purpose of life.

Guruvaar Prarthna

Guruvaar Prarthna
 

Our Beloved Sadguru Sainath, please accept our humble prayers on this Holy day of Guruvaar. We have seen thousands of days and nights, so also countless pleasures and problems in our life, yet not seen an end to our troubles. Help us to lead a peaceful and happy life under your shelter of mercy and bountiful blessings. During our testing times, please hold us safely, during turbulence in relationships, give better understanding to all, during our prayers, help us to focus our mind and body on You and grant us Your blessings to all of us. On this Holy day, we read Your words as starting part of our prayers.

 

Hail, Eternal Parabrahma! Hail, Helper of the Destitute and Blissful Countenance! Hail, Supreme Consciousness and One at the Service of the Devotees!

 

Hail, hail to one who is beyond duality! Hail, hail to one who is beyond attributes and with attributes! One who witnesses everything and is transcendental, One beyond the understanding of all who are not the devotees.

 

Hail, hail to the remover of the distress of worldly existence! Hail, hail to the destroyer of difficulties of those who seek refuge and have come full of love, Sadgururaya!

 

You have become invisible merging with the formless, but you act for the welfare of your devotees even after leaving the body.

 

Those who are devoted to you still have the same experiences as they did when you were in body, though you are now invisible.

 

By making this insignificant one the instrument of dispelling the darkness of ignorance, you have manifested the Sun of your Biography, which has the power to uplift the devotees.

 

To have belief in the existence of God and faith in Him — these are the heart-lamps that a devotee must have. Light the wicks, soaked in the oil of love, and the light of knowledge will appear.

 

Knowledge without love is formal. What use can it be to anyone? Without love there is no satisfaction. Love should be unbounded.

 

How can I describe the power of love? Everything is insignificant before it. If there is no deep love, listening or reading is fruitless.

 

In the wake of love, follow devotion, dispassion, peace and contentment together with liberation and all its treasures.

 

Love is not born without faith. Where there is faith there is God. With faith there is abundance of love and it is only faith which is the means of liberation.

 

The Sai Charita is as pure as the waters of the Ganga. He Himself has adorned his 'stotra'. Hemad is only the instrument.

 

I bow down to Sree Ganesh

I bow down to Sree Saraswati

I bow down to the Guru

I bow down to the Family Deity

I bow down to Sree Sita-Ramachandra

I bow down to Sree Sadguru Sainath.

Guruvaar Prarthna

Guruvaar Prarthna

 

Our Beloved Sadguru Sainath, please accept our humble prayers on this Holy day of Guruvaar. Please stay in our heart and guide us what to see, what to speak, how to deal and help us to remember you always. Give us enough strength to face any situation that world is offering me. On this holy day we remember your helping hand to Nana ji and praying for Your helping hands to us!

 

N G Chandorkar was climbing Harischandra hill on a summer day, and was seized with thirst. No water was available anywhere in the place.

 

N. G. Chandorkar: If Baba was here he would give me water.

 

At that time Baba was at Shirdi, 40 miles away. At Shirdi Mosque:

 

Baba: Nana is thirsty. The heat of summer is great. Should we not give him at least a palmful of water?

 

The devotees present there could not make out why Baba talked like that. But on the hill Nana saw a Bhil coming down.

 

NGC: Bhil, I am thirsty. Can't I get water to drink?

 

Bhil: Under the very rock you are sitting on, there is water.

 

So saying the Bhil left.

 

The rock was shifted and below it, was a palmful of drinking water. N. G. Chandorkar drank it.

 

Baba: Nana, you were thirsty. I gave you water. Did you drink it?
